Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work-in-progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Rod Crousey's. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.

AE 481W & AE 482 Reflection:

The 5th year senior thesis is a very important part of the Penn State AE program. It brings together all of the knowledge taken from the entire AE curriculum and puts it to use in a realistic design project. This certainly makes for a perfect capstone to the entire program. With this experience I will have much more confidence when I begin working.

CPEP Reflection:

The CPEP is a good way to show all of the work that was accomplished throughout the year. All of the reports and studies done were put together in order to show all of the progress that was made. Also, being able to see past projects helped make some issues and questions more clear, and I'm sure that my page will do the same thing for future 5th year students.

The discussion boards were also an excellent way to find information. Beyond just getting my own question answered, it helped make me become aware of some of the issues that other students were facing so I'll be ready to deal with these problems when I see them again in the future. Thank you very much to all of the practicitioners who participated.
